Mysterious Object at Noon (ดอกฟ้าในมือมาร) is nonsensical in many ways, but it is never boring, and the documentary aspects of it are fascinating. I am not sure I think the filmed version of the story the people in Thailand are telling is interesting at all, though. Mysterious Object at Noon is much more interesting when we are looking at contemporary people in Thailand than when we are watching the fiction those same people are creating. Either way, this is a strange and intriguing movie, inspired in many ways by the work of Kidlat Tahimik. And I think I am only just now seeing how influential of a filmmaker he was.
